    Wing feathers

    :greenyellow: Hey! I've had my quaker parrot Sol since February. I've posted before about her scared nature, and although she's not any less people shy, she's a happy bird. Chirps a lot, plays with her toys, and eats well. I worried a lot the stress of people around would cause her to pluck but...

    So scared it breaks my heart.

    I recently came to own a sweet quaker parrot, her name is Sol! I call her my little soul bird. She's a happy bird who loves her toys and cage, but is TERRIFIED of people. She's been this way since we got her from the pet store. She won't bite, but her little heart will race, she trembles, and...

    20yo hen - food related seizures

    My littlest bird, Quacker, is a 20yo hen who I've had since she was 14 weeks of age. I don't feed a processed diet, they get fresh cooked daily. The base of the diet is mixed grained pastas (all the alternative gluten-free pastas with wheat based hidden veggie pastas as well), grains, fresh...

    When will my Quaker start learning to talk??

    I bought a Quaker a few days ago, and I was told he was 2 years old, but now I'm told he's less than a year old. Whichever the case, mine is very tame and friendly. He'll fly to anyone's shoulders, he's used to being indoors (he won't even fly toward the windows), he loves being petted and...

    My Quaker refuses to stay in its cages; should I just leave him in there?

    My Quaker only goes inside his big cage to eat or drink; when I try to leave him in there by closing the door on him, he constantly tries to open the door and makes this loud, annoying screeching sound while banging the cage walls. After about a few minutes, he flips over the water and food...

    My Quaker is afraid of step-up...??

    Every time I try to get him to step-up, he either flies or runs away. Which is weird because when he perceives that I'm approaching him to pet him, he stays. He's not like the cliche of his species, he doesn't bite or even nip; he's not territorial - at least with me; when I try to grab him away...

    Introducing Jack the Destroyer. Any tips?

    I'm told he's set on "Casper", but I'm gonna do everything in my power to rename him "Jack" with the given title of either "the Destroyer" or "the Dragon" - or I might go with "Hulk" or "Drogba" He's awesome. A bit loud but he can talk, he mimics well, and he's very funny - keeps making this...

    Quaker is so loud. Is there any method of keeping him quiet during the day?

    When I leave the room, he won't stop screaming. When I'm with him, but I'm not giving him attention, he's screaming, but not as often (thank God). Is there anything i can do to quiet him down? I've tried music and the blanket over the cage thing, and it barely works.

    Cockatiel vs Quaker parrot?

    I'm making a decision to pick up either a cockatiel or a quaker parrot; both are hand-fed/tame and both are male. They're both sold at a shockingly bargain price conveniently at the same time. Which bird should I purchase (as I can only own one pet at home)?? From my previous experience with...
